Vehicle component and method for manufacturing the same

Abstract

A vehicle component having excellent heat resistance, excellent optical resistance, and excellent scratch resistance is provided. A vehicle component according to an aspect of the present disclosure includes a silver mirror layer and a top coat layer formed on a substrate. The top coat layer includes a first top coat part formed on the silver mirror layer, a second top coat part forming an outermost part of the top coat layer, and a colored top coat part disposed between the first and second top coat parts, the colored top coat part being mixed with paint.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A vehicle component comprising a silver mirror layer and a top coat layer formed on a substrate, wherein
 the top coat layer comprises:   a first top coat part formed on the silver mirror layer;   a second top coat part forming an outermost part of the top coat layer; and   a colored top coat part disposed between the first and second top coat parts, the colored top coat part being mixed with paint.   
     
     
         2 . The vehicle component according to  claim 1 , wherein the second top coat part has higher elasticity than that of the first top coat part. 
     
     
         3 . A method for manufacturing a vehicle component comprising a silver mirror layer and a top coat layer formed on a substrate, the method comprising:
 when the top coat layer is formed,   forming a first top coat part on the silver mirror layer;   forming a colored top coat part on the first top coat part, the colored top coat part being mixed with paint; and   forming, as an outermost part of the top coat layer, a second top coat part on the colored top coat part.   
     
     
         4 . The method for manufacturing a vehicle component according to  claim 3 , wherein the substrate is a cast-molded article molded from a urethane-based resin. 
     
     
         5 . The method for manufacturing a vehicle component according to  claim 3 , wherein the silver mirror layer is formed by a silver-mirror plating method. 
     
     
         6 . The method for manufacturing a vehicle component according to  claim 3 , wherein the silver mirror layer and the top coat layer are formed on a part of the substrate, and another coating is applied to another part of the substrate.
